Contrary to all expectation, the wall charger for the VW e-Up! actually arrived yesterday and so will be installed at work today. Of course, it's not just for the e-Up!, but will hopefully be amortised over a large number of EVs in the future.
I performed some training on the |EV yesterday and imparted all I had discovered to the rest of the crew. Even Hay attended - and had a drive of it. She fell in love with it immediately.
The car is now on the front row of the dealership and has already attracted an enquiry from someone with a Renault Zoe EV to part exchange. Now the Zoe has a larger battery than the e-Up!, so it will be interesting to see why she wants a change.
Having inspected AutoTrader, ours would appear to be the only 2nd hand e-Up! in the country. As of this morning it has had 141 views on Facebook Marketplace too, which is encouraging.
At the end of the day, when all is said and done, to coin a phrase, as it were, this is an experiment to get us into a new and fast increasing market area, and as such is a bit of a risk - but a risk Hay and I willing to take, as we underwrote the purchase and all the risk is on us.
